I first heard of this nonsense on NPR on Sunday..Sometimes I can point to the exact person/mood/light/food/blog post/magazine/book passage/snippet of poetry/ 3 martinis/ hangover.........but mostly, what we think...is a long brewing mish mash of life and death. I'm all for linking back to a blog or website if I can, and I do now always link to a pic source if I can at all.....
It is very important to protect copyright, and internet linking to a source should be practiced.
.....And really now...I've been alive a lot longer than the little girl that thought of this CC thing...and I'll tell you...most of the time I cannot pinpoint the exact thing that made me think something, make something, or write something.
for instance....Say you write a post about raising chickens in your city yard....Do you need to link to the first blogpost back in the 90s that talks about chickens? Do you need to reference all the city people back in the ancient times that raised chickens in the cities??
Do you have to link to all the hipster "urban pioneer" bloggers that talk about their chicken coops and egg recipes??
No. But you can share a link to blogpost someone did that was really cool....especially if you use their pictures, you better link the pic (don't steal. Share!)
Hey, you young kids you did not invent--- 1. good food 2. good housekeeping 3. vintage !! 4. messy bun 5. sewing 6. knitting 7. art 8. craft 9. writing 10. sex 11. babies 12. getting married 13. writing books 14.decorating with used/junk/found 15. DIY 16.gardening 17.chickens 18. kale.......but you may have invented being self-satisfied and narcissistic....
and this is after I found a few shitty scraper blogs that stole hundreds of my posts and pics. Blogger has to pay them ad revenue, yet are not very helpful in shutting them down. I have to send 700 requests to Google with the DCMA violatons One At A Time ! meh. Only Disney will really benefit from the DCMA when they threaten a little suburban mom that makes Disney Princess hair bows.
so, Mark and I are working on TONS of new projects....the goal is to make a dozen or 2 new handmade items....Yeah! In addition to the vintage we list every week........
Here's some pretty pictures on my workroom shelves......they are very inspirational to me, and maybe to you....
